Toastmaster's Course - by Caitlyn Miller

In the First Term of this year, every Monday night for 8 weeks some of our GR7 students attended the toastmasters course.

We were taught how to do speeches in public without getting scared.

We had 4 main toastmasters who taught us a lot of interesting things and we had 2 of our English teachers there with us.

On the toastmasters gala evening everyone did a speech some of us did prepared and some of us did unprepared speech. I did an unprepared speech about school.

In the unprepared speeches I came second and Mahima came first. 

In prepared Tswelopele came second and John-Alexander came first. 

There was also a award for toastmaster of excellence which was awarded to...

ME!

We all got certificates for attendance.

We all worked very hard and had a lot of fun.

It was such a great opportunity to attend the toastmasters course!

To all the grade 6’s of PCS: "You should all attend the toastmasters course next year!"

The Night by Eric Olivier

The night is black, beautiful

The night is shining, white and yellow

It has no meaning

It does not need

The night is dark, mysterious

It’s cold and warm

Casting a spell

A spell of beauty

Beauty over the land

Every time I reach my hand

Trying to grab, pull and have

Though I cannot for I’m tied to the land

Never having but loving

That’s the night

It can’t be captured

Always in sight

The night is sleek, dark

But beautiful all the same
